2010 Robert Dionne 'Silence Will Be Broken' American Revolutionary, Series. R.S. Dionne All Rights Reserved

This illustration by Robert Dionne is part of the 1777 American Revolutionary War series, it captures the harsh winter conditions by the monochromatic color palette painted in the background. The America Sycamore tree anchors and stretches across the canvas creating a encompassing design element for the composition. The warm color tones used to the patriot shooting his musket make him pop forward against those mellow cool background colors. This illustration resembles the classic N.C. Wyeth style.
